Django Developer (Sr. Software Engineer)

Lulu.com
is looking for an Experienced Software Engineer (Django Developer) to build the
next generation of publishing platforms in our head office in Morrisville, NC.

Since
2002, Lulu Press has enabled authors in more than 225 countries and territories
to self-publish over one million publications. Publishing and academic
publishing in particular are dominated by a small group of established
companies. These companies stifle innovation and exploit authors and readers
alike. Our goal is to create an alternative to traditional publishing that
offers content creators and consumers a better deal.

Publishing
is ripe for disruptive ideas but we are certainly not the only team working on
innovate solutions. That's why we are looking globally to find exceptionally
talented developers like you.

You
are perfect for this role if you have proven abilities in:

5+
years working in Python and (of course) Django

HTML,
CSS and JavaScript

Development
& consumption of REST-APIs

Scaling
applications

Bonus
skills and experience:

Test-driven
Development

CI,
automation tools, DevOps

JavaScript
frameworks & libraries, especially AngularJS

Internationalization

Micro-Service
Architecture

Experience
in the publishing industry

A
blog, Github or Stack Overflow profile showcasing what you’re all about

In
the next couple of months you will probably work on the following projects:

an
open platform for authors, publishers and knowledge entrepreneurs to
create, produce and disseminate their works

tools
for assembling content from hybrid sources

tools
for automatic transformation of content into various analog and digital
formats

Lulu
empowers people of all ages to explore and express their interests, passions
and expertise through books, photography and art. Lulu's home base is in
Raleigh, NC but you will work with an international team located around the
world.

Treating
people right is fundamental to how we do business. We treat our customers as
we’d want to be treated, we treat each other like family, and we treat
ourselves to a good day’s work and a good night’s sleep.

Our
goals have always been the same: Have fun, do exceptional work, build the best
product in the business, experiment, pay attention to the details, treat people
right, tell the truth, have a positive impact on the world around us, give
back, and keep learning.
